Understanding Storage Device Naming

Runtime Name

The name of the path to the device. The runtime name is created by the host. The name is
not a reliable identifier for the device, and is not persistent. The runtime name has the
following format:
vmhba#:C#:T#:L#, where
vmhba# is the name of the storage adapter. The name refers to the physical adapter on the
host, not to the SCSI controller used by the virtual machines.
C# is the storage channel number.
T# is the target number. Target numbering is decided by the host and might change if
there is a change in the mappings of targets visible to the host. Targets that are shared by
different hosts might not have the same target number.
L# is the LUN number that shows the position of the LUN within the target. The LUN
number is provided by the storage system. If a target has only one LUN, the LUN
number is always zero (0).

For example, vmhba1:C0:T3:L1 represents LUN1 on target 3 accessed through the
storage adapter vmhba1 and channel 0.

Therefore vmhba2:2:0, vmhba2:3:0, vmhba3:0:0 and vmhba3:1:0 all have a LUN number
of 0.
